Wimbledon bosses are desperate to have as many eyeballs as possible globally watching the action, particularly in the key US market.

Can Chelsea cause an upset in the Club World Cup Final against Paris Saint-Germain?
Here, we look at some talking points ahead of the game: The game The match itself is an appealing one, not least for the participation of PSG. It always seemed likely the big European teams would ultimately prevail in the latter stages of this tournament and, in the French side, the favourites have come through. Luis Enrique's side have been the outstanding force of the past year and, while not the ratings driver Real Madrid would be, organisers will be pleased for their involvement. Chelsea are more of a surprise and have been aided by a relatively kind draw but they have grown into the competition and have the individuals to cause an upset. What is at stake? Tournament organiser FIFA, the world governing body, and its president Gianni Infantino have done their best to attach considerable prestige to the tournament, the first to be played in this newly-expanded 32-format. Sunday's winners will not only be crowned world champions but be entitled to wear a gold badge on their shirts for the next four years. FIFA will doubtless emphasise this but there is also the small matter of a jackpot in excess of £90million on offer for the victor, which goes some way to explaining why competing clubs have taken the event so seriously. Both PSG and Chelsea are already guaranteed more than £80million. The occasion The Club World Cup, which now will be held every four years, has had plenty of detractors but FIFA is determined to make a success it. It wants to make the final a true showpiece occasion and to do this it is planning a star-studded Super Bowl-style half-time show to enhance the offering for a crowd it hopes will fill most of the MetLife Stadium's 82,500 seats. Adding to the occasion, United States president Donald Trump is due to attend. Weather The tournament in the United States has been bedevilled by a number of controversies concerning issues such as its scheduling in the calendar, poor attendances, venue choices, kick-off times, standard of pitches and the weather. The latter is again likely to be a factor on Sunday with the temperature forecast to be 29C by kick-off at 3pm local time, although that is somewhat cooler than a number of other games earlier in the tournament. The looming World Cup FIFA's determination to make a triumph of this event is underlined by the fact it is also partly a trial run for next year's World Cup. That is an even bigger tournament that will feature 48 teams playing across the whole North American continent, including Canada and Mexico, rather than just the US. The 2026 final will also be held at the MetLife Stadium and it will be hoped this weekend passes without major hiccup.

All Blacks score six tries to hammer under-strength France
NEW ZEALAND CRUSHED an under-strength France 43-17 in the second Test in Wellington, scoring six tries to clinch the three-match series. The All Blacks bounced back from a nervous 31-27 win in the first Test in Dunedin with a commanding performance against an inexperienced French side who made 10 changes to their starting line-up. Led by a dominant forward display, the home side were more clinical in converting scoring positions into points in Wellington, having had three tries disallowed a week earlier. While the All Blacks made two injury-enforced changes from the first Test, French coach Fabien Galthie removed a core of experienced players to name a starting side with just 60 Test caps between them. Four starting French forwards were making their debuts and it showed as the home side dominated the breakdown and lineout in particular, giving a solid platform for standout scrum-half Cam Roigard to control the contest. Up 29-3 at half-time, the All Blacks were never threatened, securing a 10th straight win over France on home soil. An early New Zealand penalty goal by out-half Beauden Barrett was followed by three tries that all stemmed directly from lineouts — the first to Roigard, who ran 30 metres untouched after a trick move that fooled the defence. France scrum-half Nolann Le Garrec scored his team's only points of the half with a penalty before the home side pulled clear with successive tries from lineout drives to flanker Ardie Savea and hooker Codie Taylor. Advertisement Savea, standing in as captain in place of the injured Scott Barrett, gave a dominant display. 'The boys fronted up to get the W (win),' said Savea. 'This week we talked about our defence. We wanted to bring fire there and I think we did that in most parts of the game.' A former world player of the year, Savea instigated a brilliant team try before the interval. WHAT A TRY! All Blacks rugby at its very best! 😍 — Sky Sports Rugby Union (@SkySportsRugby) July 12, 2025 His break from 60 metres out sparked a flowing move which ended with flanker Tupou Vaa'i scoring under the crossbar. The half was marred by a yellow card offence from each side — to Beauden Barrett for a deliberate knock-on and debut French lock Joshua Brennan, son of former Leinster and Ireland player Trevor, for a lifting tackle. France made six substitutions early in the second half and the refreshed side created a try for fullback Leo Barre. 'Credit to the French, you know they never give up, they're always there,' Savea said. 'I'm proud of our boys for just digging in and doing a good job tonight.' All Blacks fullback Will Jordan responded for the hosts with his 41st try in 43 Tests before wing Rieko Ioane powered across in the left corner. Brennan had the final say for France, barging over for their second try. 'Obviously we're really disappointed with the score.' said France wing Emilien Gailleton. 'We wanted to prove much more today. Really disappointed but we're going to recover and come back much better next week. 'We want to finish our season with a good performance. The third Test is in Hamilton next Saturday. – © AFP 2025
